Store owner Stephen Benecke told the Bradenton Heraldsurveillance video showed one suspect had the hoodie wrapped around his neck with the boa constrictor inside.

Benecke says they didn't initially report the crime because they thought the snakes had escaped their habitat, which didn't have a lock. He says the video shows two men removing latches from the snake habitat while a woman served as a lookout. One man then grabbed the larger snake and wrapped it in the hoodie.
